Dean, Something else to consider is that the "old" bird swtiched modes in the middle of the pass. I do not have any idea when it switches from Mode B back to Mode A since I am not capable of operating Mode B. However, I can speak to it switching from Mode A to Mode B in the middle of a p

I agree that many people use too much power. But, remember it is not just the output power that counts, it is also affected by the antenna gain. 10W into a dipole is about the same in terms of effective radiated power as 1W into a 12-13 dB gain Yagi. John WA4WDL -
